Indicate how bonding is explained in term of molecular orbitals?

When two atoms combine, the overlap of their atomic orbitals produces molecular orbitals. An atomic orbital belongs to a particular atom, whereas a molecular orbital belongs to a molecule as a whole. Much like an atomic orbital, two electrons are required to fill a molecular orbital. A bonding orbital is a molecular orbital occupied by the two electrons of a covalent bond

What is the difference between bonding and anti bonding molecular orbital?
Electrons in a bonding orbital have lower energy levels than the average energy of a valence electrons in the isolated atoms between which the orbital is formed. Antibonding orbitals do not meet this criterion, so that anitbonding orbitals can be stable only in conjunction with bonding orbitals, whereas bonding orbitals can be formed without any accompanying antibonding orbitals.The molecular orbitals which is formed by the addition of atomic orbitals is called bonding molecular orbitals.The molecular orbitals which is formed by the subtraction of atomic orbitals is called antibonding molecular orbitals.
The quantum mechanical model of bonding assumes that atomic orbitals overlap and produce?
molecular orbital
Are sigma bonding molecular orbital are gerade?
yes,sigma orbital are gerade as these orbitals are symetrical
Why py and pz cannot form bonding and anti bonding molecular orbital?
Standard PY and PZ cannot form bonding and anti bonding molecular oribitals due to their structural differences. Depending on the composition of the bonds, most atoms and molecules can create orbitals.
Why do anti bonding molecular orbitals are formed?
Because that's the way physics works. There really isn't a "why". It's kind of like asking why there are negative numbers. There just are.

Are all sigma bonding molecular orbitals are gerade?
Yes ^^
What species have no electrons in anti bonding 2p molecular orbitals?
f2
Is the geometry of Allene planar according to the molecular orbitals applicable to its bonding?
of course!
What are the postulates of molecular orbit theory?
Molecular Orbital Theory (MOT):•Basic idea of MOT is that atomic orbitals of individual atoms combine toform molecular orbitals. Electrons in molecule are present in themolecular orbitals which are associated with several nuclei.•The molecular orbital formed by the addition of atomic orbitals is calledthe bonding molecular orbital (s ).•The molecular orbital formed by the subtraction of atomic orbital is calledanti-bonding molecular orbital (s*).•The sigma (s ) molecular orbitals are symmetrical around the bond-axiswhile pi (p ) molecular orbitals are not symmetrical.•Sequence of energy levels of molecular orbitals changes for diatomicmolecules like Li2, Be2, B2, C2, N2 is 1s < *1s < 2s< *2s < ( 2px = 2py)

Why dihelium does not exist?
Molecular orbitals: dihelium has two electrons in the bonding orbital and two in the antibonding orbital. That why it does not exists.
Why nitrogen is diamagnetic while contains unpaired electrons?
If you are going by the electron configuration of nitrogen then the unpaired electrons in the 2p shell would indicate that it is paramagnetic. However experiments show that it is diamagnetic. You must remember that nitrogen is a diatomic element and as such is found as N2. The molecular orbital theory explains how there are no unpaired electrons in the bonds between the two N atoms. The 1s and 2s molecular orbitals are completely filled and all of the bonding 2p orbitals are also filled. There are no electrons in the any of the 2p anti-bonding orbitals. Seeing a molecular orbital diagram for N2 will clarify what i mean.
Is a bonding orbital a molecular orbital whose energy is higher than that of the atomic orbitals from which it is formed?
no, it's a molecular orbit that can be occupied by two electrons of a covalent bond(:
What is a molecule bonding?
Just as the valence electrons of atoms occupy atomic orbitals (AO), the shared electron pairs of covalently bonded atoms may be thought of as occupying molecular orbitals (MO).
